I got really frustrated and disappointed with Q last night, and that's coming from a person who has been in his fan club all year.  He made a LOT of bad plays.  He was reckless at times, more showy than necessary, and had no business heaving up five 3 pointers.

If a guy misses shots, I'm usually not too critical of that, it happens.  With Q last night, it was just poor play.  One that stands out in my mind is when he went 1 on 4 early on in the game on a fast break during a time when the game was well within reach and every point was critical.  He drove probably just looking for a foul, but it was really a dumb play as four NC State players were guarding him.  Another that I remember is trying to thread the needle with a pass to Carey, that resulted in a turnover.  There was no way Carey was going to handle that kind of pass.  Brown, maybe, but not Carey.  It was not an easy pass to haul in.  6 turnovers in the game and only 4 assists is piss poor.

The other thing that I didn't like was the amount of mouthiness on the court.  I like Cope's fire and I think he's a leader type guy.  I just don't care for the whiny crap like some others on the team did this year (i.e. Judah, Bell, Benny).  Stop complaining and just play.

I don't want one game to sway me too much, but I REALLY didn't like what I saw last night.  It has caused me to be concerned that with a starting role, he may be more empowered to make a lot of dumb plays.  He's a very confident young man - that can work for a person but it can also work against.  Sometimes I think it work against Copeland.
